If the man of the hour entertains a lot, an idea is a set of monogrammed glassware or barware. Other items can also be personalized, such as a great robe, a leather briefcase, a pillowcase or a doormat.

A leather card case and a picture frame are no-fail options. If the recipient were a technology lover, then perhaps he'd love an e-reader or tablet.
